My Progress
WEEK 9: RESEARCH & COVER PAGE
I started my assignment by doing research first about my hometown - Penang. I jotted down all the information on my tablet and I try to sketch the layout in infographic manner for each category in my assignment.
​
After I have gathered and filter all the informations, I start to draw the cover page of my hometown. It is inspired by Chulia Street in Georgetown, the capital of Penang. I then name it "My Beautiful Hometown" to keep it simple yet obvious.
​
In addition, I was able to complete the location plan, accessibility map, transportations and some other informations on my second and third page.

WEEK 10: DRAWING MAPS & TANGIBLE COMPONENTS
Map Zoning is considered one of the most challenging part as it requires a lot of details and to ensure the sizing is correct. I was able to trace the map from a reference that I found online. I then include the zoning areas based on the my research and accurately categorised them based on colouring. The whole zoning process took longer than I expected.
​
For the building style, I was selected a few famous attractions that has unique characteristics. I then proceed to zoom in a few components and then do further research regarding it for description. I found out that some of the building components carries significant meaning and history.
​
I redo Road Circulation for a few time before art lining and colouring it because I noticed that the thickness/ thinnest of the road is not obvious enough to identify the difference.
Drawing of zoning map, building style, infrastructure and road circulation in 3 pages.
Half way done with the colouring of zoning map.
The final product of everything after art lining and colouring.
WEEK 11: INTANGIBLE COMPONENTS, SENSE OF PLACE & CONCLUSION
For the third week, I continue drawing the following pages for Sense of Place, Intangible Components and conclusion. Luckily for me, I was able to obtain a lot of interesting culture activities that are well known and celebrated.
​
Drawing sense of place is just as hard as my front cover. For someone that used to visit Chulia Street casually, I was able to state why it is favourite component. Although the process was long and breathe taking, I was able to complete it with enough amount of effort and patience.

WEEK 12: BACK COVER & PAMPHLET MAKING
For the final week, I arranged all the pages that I finished. I then print out a picture of myself from Instagram and stick it on the back cover, then include my personal informations. After every pages are gathered, I then proceed to build my pamphlet and film myself flipping through it.

The Outcome
Overall, this assignment requires advance research for informations break down. In terms of drawing, it is slightly harder than previous assignment but it is fun to explore around my hometown. Once again, through this assignment, I can tell my art lining techniques have improve and I became a more detailed person.
My Reflection
1. Intrapersonal Skills
I was able to properly organised my time schedule based on the workload. I felt that I became better at time management since by the end of the day, I am ahead of the schedule. With that being said, I was able to double check for mistakes and maintain a healthy emotional status.
2. Lifelong Learning
Throughout the assignment, I was able to gain new and extra knowledge regarding my own hometown. Despite the fact that I visit there often, I have never properly pay attention to the little details. This assignment definitely opened my eyes and I am glad to take in new knowledge that could possibly be useful and help me in the future.
3. Thinking and Problem Solving Skills
This assignment definitely challenged my thinking skill since there so many categories and sub topics that are needed to be included in the assignment. This gave me a hardtime arranging the layout and spacing. After several tries on a sketch book, I was able to utilise the space wisely and insert all the informations that I was able to obtain from my research.
